I'm still interested in your rear sight assy. I think I signed up for your news letter. I'm a machinist/maint. Tech. For 40 plus yrs. so I would like to know about availability.
Thanks again.

Hello,

Currently, I'm doing them on a custom basis. I took the purchasing option down from the website as I'd like folks to write me regarding the rear sight like I ask the to do with the trigger.

If you'd like a rear sight, please email me (so I can have the records to reference during the build) and we'll work out a deal.

Regards,

Josh

Buyer beware? You know something I don't?
Thanks

, from someone whose only post (and apparently, only reason to sign up) is to try to trash me in a manner as ambiguous as "buyer, beware."

Well actually he did sign up just over two years before that post, but you're right, his post is meaningless since it's his only post since he signed up and not explaining why the buyer should beware proves nothing to anyone.

Suggestion. If you still do these things but find it hard to because of time or whatever reason, maybe just have it listed as a "contact me" type thing, this way people know you offer this / these service(s), but you can let them know all the details up front.

Hope that helps in some way.

Hello,

Thank you, Coils. I noticed after my post that his post was old and this was a resurrected thread.

I do have a "Contact Me" about the triggers. I was actually going to end those cocking piece sights, but they've proved too popular to fade away and so I might just do the same (as you suggest) for the sight.

I'd been looking at joining this forum for a bit; I sort of lurk before I join anything. This was not my preferred method of introducing myself. Dangit.

Regards,

Josh

Josh is a good guy. I have not used his iron sights. Didn't know he made a rear sight assy. Can't find it on his website.

I'm presently waiting on my second 2 stage (M39 clone) trigger set for an ex PU Sniper I'm rehabbing. Takes a little getting used to but It is frikin AMAZING compared to any Mosin stock trigger !!! Smith-Sights for the Mosin-Nagant

I purchased two of these sights from Josh about two years ago. Good product and great customer service if you have any issues or concerns. If you want an adjustable sight for your Mosin Nagant, I recommend getting one of these.

Hello,

Man, I don't make them any longer. They take too much time, ruin tools, and take a lot to tune (so the sight returns to the same spot each time the bolt is cocked.)

If you just want pics, I can post them here. I'm working right now, but I'll check back either when I go home or tomorrow. I do not care if you duplicate the rear sight. Just be aware that you'll need carbide drills and tin coated HSS taps.

Regards,

Josh

Well at this point I'm just curios. Not a machinist . Just curios how what you did compares to the fellow on Gunboards.
